Check the ID band.Third right dosage. Fourth Administration through the right route. Fifth the right time.Sixth Education on what they are receiving. Seventh get a complete patient medication history. Know all the medications that that your patient is taking and provide safety. Eight find out if patient is allergic to any medication.As a nurse know the DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALLERGIC REACTIONS AND ADVERSE REACTIONS. Adverse reaction is Pharmaceutical, controllable even though problematic. Allergic reaction is not pharmacological rather a Chemical reaction. Nine,medication and food interactions.
